Foreclosure

Are you unable to afford your mortgage payments, but want to avoid foreclosure? There are many options that may be available to you.

You may be able to refinance your loan, extending the repayment period and/or reducing the interest, thereby lowering the payments.

IBEW 76 FCU may be able to modify your loan, to make your payments more affordable

You may be able to surrender the deed to your house voluntarily, to avoid the foreclosure process.

IBEW 76 FCU may be able to provide you with special forbearance, in light of your current circumstances you may be able to sell your home and repay your mortgage in its entirety. If your home’s value is less than your outstanding loan balance, IBEW 76 FCU may be willing to accept less money than you owe as full payment (a short sale).

To explore any (or all) of these options, contact IBEW 76 FCU, (253) 475-6661 or 800-464-0076.

In order for us to evaluate your eligibility for these options we must review some documents. Please prepare the following documents for our conversation:

Recent pay stubs (or other proof of income, such as SSI payments or retirement income)

Recent statements from all bank or credit union accounts

Tax return and all supporting documentation
